PALETTE AS POETRY

Color is a type of language:

I took this idea literally to compose a poem. I used Behr paint virtual color picker http://www.behr.com/Behr/home#view=14;vgnextoid=6bd8ea6621ca5110VgnVCM1000008119fea9RCRD;channel=EXPLORE to pick a palette of colors and the names given to them by Behr make up the poem.

PALETTE AS POEM no.1
by Sarah Huffard in collaboration with Behr Paint

American anthem
Song bird
Silver drop
Moon dance
Ryegrass
